MAKE MY KIT >COM

[History101]

They might be intersted in making a body kit for our cars the 99+ grand am now which one would we all like to have made here is what the site admin has said:

"""Making the custom kit is not a problem. Fitment wont be an issue because we will fit and fit again before making the final product.

Decide within you board members to see what kits they want to be produced.

If you get at least 7 people interested in the kit (with $100 refundable deposits) then we can get this project going.""""

choose which one you like

POST UP THE KITS YOU LIKE ................... there are lots of fronts from the photshop website but the rears are the real question of which look best?!

[GrahamKracka]

3rd from the top is pretty pimp

[RamAirGT22]

Just a question but the original is the tuner car, right? Which look like the RK sport kit? If so, isn't there some sort of copyright? Just curious, but I could be wrong...

[AndyVTek]

Mmm... number 2.

[Hodge]

Orange one

[NorKoastal]

Give me the Blue kit or Give Me Death..... LoL
It looks too good not to have!!

[bryan1727]

I like the blue one too

[NYCgrandam37]

that red kit looks almost liek a wide body kit, that woudl be sick for our cars since they almost already have that wide body look to them

[99GApunk]

Give me the Blue kit or Give Me Death..... LoL
It looks too good not to have!!

theres two blue ones

anyone know anyone or anyboards that have succesfully had a kit made from these guys? and not just taking an existing one meant for a different car

[magyver]

3rd one down... very sexy...

[Bad324]

3rd one down for sure fits the car best

[02andahalfgt]

The last three are absolutely hideous. :vomit:

Does anyone even know if this site is legit? Has anyone seen a finished product from them on any vehicle? Seems a little shady, post on their forums and they'll make a body kit for anything. If that's the case then why hasn't anyone tried begging them before?
Also, these body kits are all pretty worthless if they're not going to make other accessories, ie. hoods and spoilers.

[Azrael]

Take the hood from the first one and add it to the 3rd one and it gets my vote.

[phatG-A]

i'm sorry but i kind of like this one. but then again thats just me

[99GApunk]

im with you, i went through every thread and only saw one semi-finished "original" kit and it looked awful

[onesexyga]

That black one might as well be made out of tissue paper. Theres not enough strength. It will break.

[SilverSurferGT]

#3

[crazypontiac03]

#3, Very Sexy.

[kse73]

#3 = teh sexy front end

[whiteam04]

they say $100 down, but how much will the kits actually cost? and my votes on the third one

[izayn]

History 101 is there anyway that you or any of us can check up on the legitamacy of this place. 100 dollars isn't a arm or a leg, but if I was to throw my hat in I would want to know that they are going to create something in the end and not have us on the hook waiting a year or 2 for the kit. I think I soeak for everyone on how long before we see a product and how much.

But I like
3 and 4
4 because it makes the car llok more flat and fast. but 3 is still no. 1

I would just buy the front bumper as a change out since I have another kit already

[izayn]

Oh yeah can they make the hotwheels spoiler too?
(where you don't have to drill a new holes in the trunk)

[AaronGTR]

Of those chops #3 looks the best by far. It looks like a nice cross between an rksport kit and the american racer concept (which was an awesome looking car). Pics here american racer (http://grandamgt.com/forum/showpost.php?p=578764&postcount=38)

[methos]

2 & 3 get my vote

[Trigga-T]

3 gets mine and then 2

[shadesofnight]

http://www.photoshopchop.com/contest/contest23/images/entry13.jpg

huh? :huh:

http://www.photoshopchop.com/contest/contest23/images/entry35.jpg

Oh make it stop. :scream:


Oh yea, and whats the deal with my sig? What happnened to impact font?

[braves511]

the second one with the wing from the first one

[wade walter]

the green one is sick...you just need the power to back up it's look

[CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN]

folks your getting there with the style bring it down a notch or two. not so much flair out of pieces or too many small openings / vents etc .. don ' t think of the honda kits etc import kits . i realise it must be hard ... keep the photo's coming . you want a tuff and or aggresive look sporty . but not a stuck my finger in a electric sock look. or got hit by lightening look. if you know what i mean. too much freak and the buyers are limited . awesome photo jobs .

[CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN]

nicest front end the blue one with blk stripes photo # 3. maybe bring the lower bottom lip out a bit more ... with the side squrts at theeach underneath bottom areas make them look a little more like the sides skirts seen on older bmw's a dip i guess i can call it at each end . actually a little more then what the factory side surts look like. or using the side skirts on photo #2 just round on the sharpe edges some what . i like the look of the fender extensions . looks like a racing bmw m3 diecast i have .

[ViperGTSR]

all i have to say is: i wish someone took a pic of the concept drawing from pantiac/ASC that one day cuz i want an F-34 Grand Am (no one here knows what the **** im talking about, its a MI thing)

[chevy355blazer]

im from MI what the heck is the f 34 grand am does it got wings and a turbine??? or a snow plow and a spreader. i like the 3rd from the top the best it still looks like a grand am and not someother kids car.

[chevy355blazer]

yea that gold one looks like a chubby baby makin a fish face or something. and ya gotta keep the fog light cut outs

[History101]

ok here is the pricing you just have to add shippinf costs.
"
If you had 5-10 participants in the GB, the cost of each kit would be $450 each. MSRP after the GB will be $750.

Prices do not include shipping."

http://www.photoshopchop.com/contest/contest23/images/entry9.jpg

for that body kit................... now who is actually interested in this bodykit~~~~~!!!!!

only need about 7 people each have to put $100 bones down then pay the rest once production has been made

[DrFabulous]

How long of a wait would we be looking for? Both when the GB expires and roughly how long we'd have to wait for the actual product?

[AndyVTek]

How long of a wait would we be looking for? Both when the GB expires and roughly how long we'd have to wait for the actual product?

Yeah, I'm interested in the wait, too... I might be down for the $100 if we can get some solid numbers on some of these issues.

[History101]

"$450 would be for the complete kit. Keep in mind that once 10 participants are confirmed, the price of the kit will go up to $750."

Ok, so the GB doesn't end till there is 10 people. If I put in $100, how long am I going to have to wait for my product? 6 months? A year? It makes a huge difference in my decision. If I have to wait till next winter, I'm out, because it would have to sit till next spring to get on and painted. Any ideas History?

[crazypontiac03]

Im interested also But long everyone else here how long is the weight, Cause am not throwing 100 bucks down the drain like some folks did with the other kit.

[History101]

im finding out right now. how long the wait will be because they might need a donor car>?

[highwayprowlerz]

2, 3, or 4... in that order.

[LukeD]

I think you all should look at them with normal paint jobs before you choose cause you can make almost anything look exotic with a $10,000 paint job.

[rak4life]

will this be made out of oem material or fiberglass. because if the blue one is made out of oem material the will get a lot of interest i know that.

[2002GT]

oem material is a lot more expensive FYI...

the hotbodiez kit is $1500 and you get front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts...

quality costs money and no one likes to pay

[phatG-A]

well more than likely it will be fiberglass. so i think i'll stick with the rksport.

[chevy355blazer]

if its fiberglass screw that i live in michigan im tired of fiberglass people rave about it try living in cold weather and have some retard slide into ur nice new kit at least poly bends back for the most part. A freind of mine smacked dead into a light pole his front bumper was all messed up but he let it sit out in the sun one day and it went back to its original form. Fiber may be cheaper but i rather pay for the quality. Either poly or that other newer stuff. if then ill give ya 100 right now and maybe a donor car if ur not that far away for a discout of course =)

[chevy355blazer]

wiat yall dont even know what the back bumber looks like do ya.......and i want number three the blue one

[History101]

The rear bumper will mostly lickly look similar to the rk sport one the side skirt will look like the ones in the picture #3

http://www.photoshopchop.com/contest/contest23/images/entry9.jpg

i won't be on the board this next week due to a family loss if you guys have any other question either regiter on makemykit.com or when i get back i will ask them myself.....

[History101]

Since www.makemykit.com has been patient with all out question i would like to ask you guys :

Who is actually wants this kit made and is willing to throw down $100 fro the production costs then the rest of the $350

[2003GaGt1]

I think before a lot of people put down the money their needs to be a few questions answered first, which was, material? How long the wait is going to be, and an actual sketch or photoshop or something of what is actually designed to be the finished product? Meaning the rear bumper.

[gthirty6ptime]

http://www.photoshopchop.com/contest/contest23/images/entry26.jpg
this one gives me a skyline feel
i dig that

[99GApunk]

I think before a lot of people put down the money their needs to be a few questions answered first, which was, material? How long the wait is going to be, and an actual sketch or photoshop or something of what is actually designed to be the finished product? Meaning the rear bumper.

yeah and perhaps some contractual agreement or something. i just get a bad feeling of "ripoff ahead" from this whole thing

[DrFabulous]

Yeah, bigtime. I mean, it's only 100 bucks, but then again, thats 100 bucks not spent on another kit or something. I'd like to know some more, material, actual look, rough time frame...

[2003GaGt1]

Yeah, bigtime. I mean, it's only 100 bucks, but then again, thats 100 bucks not spent on another kit or something. I'd like to know some more, material, actual look, rough time frame...

I dont know, $100 is still $100 to me, i know what you mean though.

History101, dont take any of this as an attack on you but since your going to act as liason between everyone your going to get beat up over this.

[DrFabulous]

Nothing I say, or anyone else, is anything but general concern. Nothing is pointed directly at you. We all appreciate what you're doing here.

[Nirbush]

http://www.makemykit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=64



Sure u all looked at the post to but for whoever didnt there u go, could probably ask the guy himself who supposedly is gonna make the kits.

[methos]

they said it should take about 3-4 weeks. so ur looking at month, maybe two

[99GApunk]

that seems like an awfully short time period to make an entire kit from scratch.... but i dunno much about making kits so nevermind

[grandGTR]

American Tuner would be nice. :) Ya, the RK is close, but the way the pontica look grill was done is just makes the totaly different. A non-fiberglass kit to look like the American Tuner would be the best! Man this thread is getting long....

[chevy355blazer]

I just registerd and asked some questions 1. we need concrete answers on time materials finished pics on normals painted cars. 2. if there gonna do other diff things like that hood, or spoilers or anything else. 3. some kind of contract so that we dont lose our money either. i told them not fiberglass even tho its cheaper to stick with poly. hopefully yall aint mad at me for that one. its mainly for all u cold weather cars.

[crazypontiac03]

Nope, I thank you.. I dont want to spend $$ on a kit that is only going to last one Winter, It kits cold here.

[chevy355blazer]

hmm i hope this aint a joke cuz im waitin on tax returns body kit or rims sooo many choices, yea cold weather sucks for everything when it hits 25 im back in shorts

[History101]

"Yes, we would need a test car at our S.California location for approx 1-2 weeks and one more time once the 1st "Kit is made (for test fitment purposes) "

"Yes, the prototype car will get a FREE kit. The other members will get it at normal GB price (to be determined once final design is submitted) "


So yea can we get a ginny pig from South CALI YOU WILL GET A FREE KIT!!!!!!!

i'd do it but im from CT

[phatG-A]

ok i hate to say it again, but have they answered on what it's going to be made out of? and second thing is how much height difference are we talking about between the kit and stock? i would have no problems driving down to southern cali again. since i live about 4 hours away from LA

[chevy355blazer]

still waiting to hear from them. history u hear anything new they havnt responded to me in the makethekit.com forum yet.

[History101]

yea the last response i got in email yesterday its probably going to be made out of fiberglass.

[AMRAAM4]

i'm sorry but i kind of like this one. but then again thats just me
you are high...that is all




P.S. #3 looks good...now you have the AMRAAM stamp of approval

[History101]

you are high...that is all




P.S. #3 looks good...now you have the AMRAAM stamp of approval


great since amraam4 likes it i guess makemykit better make the kit or hoss will come after them

[phatG-A]

hey history any idea on the height difference?

[History101]

hey history any idea on the height difference?

we won't know until i can get a ginny pig for the kit fitment... hmm your from CALI ?!

[phatG-A]

yeah. about 4 hours north of LA. driven there for a kit once before and would do it again for the right one.

[ganut]

^^^^^^better get new fenders before you go there..... make a mold from a fubar'd car, and you'll get a fubar'd kit...

[phatG-A]

i already have the new fenders, but the won't be put on until i decide which kit i'm going to get. i get my tax refund in about a week or two, so i don't think i'm going to wait on this. i need to get my baby lookin good again. :(

[ganut]

time to get it done and get it done right. gl

[History101]

i have someone to test it but he shall remaiin nameless for now

[phatG-A]

no kidding ganut. thats why i'm having a shop do it.

[black99gagt]

i might be interesed in it once i get my taxes back but ill let ya no history

[methos]

i might be in on this too....

[MorgyMan]

Kind of surprised nobody has asked....is it going to be made for 4 doors as well?

[chevy355blazer]

fiberglass then i know of at least 10 people out of it theyhate fiberglass i dont care how much more it is make the _________ (insert your own word) out of POLY POLY POLY

[History101]

well once they make a mold maybe you can have a custom poly kiy made.... i know how you feel i live in a cold area 2 that fluctuates between either 90 degree in the summer to -5 in the winter

[chevy355blazer]

lets just hope so. sorry about ur lose =(

[methos]

so what kind of timeframe are we looking at as to when the list will start?
i might be interested in this

[bryan1727]

The guy's response on the site: Making the kit in Polyurethane is a possibility, however we need a greater number of participants in the GB. (at least 50+). Since productions costs are extremely high, we would like to make the fiberglass version first and see what the demand for the body kit is like.

[History101]

LISTEN THE KIT WILL BE MADE OUT OF FIBER GLASS FOR THESE 3 REASONS

1) Ease of repair. Some simple bondo and some touch-up paint will do wonders if it's a daily driver. Polyurethane is much harder to repair if you're a DIYer and sometimes nearly impossible.

2) Accomodation to "extras." If you don't like certain parts of the kit they can add, fill, shape or customize the fiberglass much easier than with polyurethane. Most aftermarket scoops, etc. are made of fiberglass and fiberglass molded to fiberglass is much easier than fiberglass to polyurethane.

3) Cost!

[chevy355blazer]

in otherwords they dont wanna make urethane cuz it costs more and is prolly harder to make. yall must be from down south or west coast. we get winter we need urethane. besies fiber is also heavier for all u 1/4 timers out there. u can look great with a kit and go faster too

[History101]

Potholes, snow or whatever- if your so damn worried about scraping then you should NOT purchase the kit in the first place. It's a trade-off to making the car look good. When you have ANY bodykit you have to learn how to drive correctly and carefully, be it ***, AAS, RK, SC/T, etc. The kit is going to be made of fiberglass, PERIOD. Your either in or out. It's as simple as that.

[chevy355blazer]

guess all 9 of us are out then. its not a matter of driving. just a matter of everday wear and tear.

[phatG-A]

well the way i look at it is, i'm going to be spending $1450 on the RK kit because of what it's made of. plus it looks good.

[chevy355blazer]

exactly so if they made that kits cheaper than the rk wouldnt u buy it. im trying to make them money here.

[phatG-A]

yep. i don't mind spending $1000 bucks for a urathane kit.

[FireItUpXTC]

as i just said in the other thread that i read before this one... im very interested in getting in on a gb for this however i also live in the cold weather and would be willing to spend the extra $$$ for a urethane kit.
also most of the pics of the kits are down and are not displaying

[methos]

im down for this kit

[History101]

OK SO FAR THESE PEOPLE ARE GOOD TO GO ON THE KIT! who else is IN
or still thinking about it:

black99gagt
methos


and
(maybe)chevy355blazer +9 additional is down if its made out of urothane(sp)

who else is in

[FireItUpXTC]

I wouldnt say this kit isnt an option if its not urethane but of course that would be my preference however i would need a 4dr so whether that limits whether i can be in the buy or not i dont know. also if u could repost or check the link for those pictures thatd be great b/c i cant seem to see them, sry to be a pain in the arse.

[chevy355blazer]

3 of my 9 are out for sure there gonna get shipped out in 4-5 months. and gone for 1-2 years. and the others are gonna wait and see what happens, with the kit u would like to be made. USMC

[AaronGTR]

well once they make a mold maybe you can have a custom poly kiy made.... i know how you feel i live in a cold area 2 that fluctuates between either 90 degree in the summer to -5 in the winter


Just an FYI, they can't make a urethane kit with the same kind of mold used for a fiberglass kit. It's a totally different process. That's why most companies involved in fiberglass bodykit's will never make a urethane kit. They don't have the money or resources to make the molds or get the equipment.

[chevy355blazer]

really.... thank u i did not know that now i feel bad for being so danged persistant with history. learn something new every day thank u

[History101]

Ok for all you guys with the 4 doors your lucky i found a 4 door car to test it on so the front bumper and rear bumper will fit great on a door door but i still need a 2 door car to test it on so the side skirt will fit.

[methos]

good, i was about to ask if u have a 4dr donor or a 2dr donor...cuz i have a 4dr GT

[FireItUpXTC]

do u have an actual chop or sketch of what this kit will look like b/c all the images are showing up as the infamous red x's?

[BodyKitRep]

the website that the sketches were on are now down

[BodyKitRep]

another new thing i talked with makemykit was about a hood.

http://www.gogoracer.com/New%20CF%20Pics%20007.jpg


yes i am history101 i was umm banded for what i have no clue but i need to get info into this thread

[methos]

thats cool...is that an functional cowl...or just for looks?
either way....looks good

[AaronGTR]

Looks like a functional vent. That's not a grand am hood of course, but thats the type of hood that I'd like to see get made. We've been trying to get someone to make that style forever.

[highwayprowlerz]

I'd buy any body kit if someone would make a decent looking back end, not something that looks like ASS.

[methos]

i like the back end of the rksport, just never liked the front end

oh, and any progress on this kit?

[pontiackiller]

the hood will be in production once 7-10 pre-order

currently on www.gaownesclub.com there are 5 we need have or 2 more people it will be better if there was 10.

PLease post your user name and real name on list list if you want the CF HOOD made.

""""""'If you want us to get started on the hood, we would still need at least 7 people to take on the project.

Carbon Fiber - $450
Fiberglass - $325

Estimated time to make Plug is about 1-2 weeks. Once its finalized and test fitted, it can go into production which will be another 1-2 weeks."""""

[AaronGTR]

Link no worky... I'd need to see pics of the proposed hood style b4 I'm in. I'm only interested in an EVO style vented hood, or maybe an SD style hood. One of those in CF for $450 and I'd definitely be in. Not interested in a stocker style of course. One question... are they going to have a full under side and be able to use stock mounting hardware, and if so will it be fiberglass or CF? Either will work as long as it's quality and not too heavy. I'd pay more for a 100% CF hood in the 10-12lb range.

[99GApunk]

poor kid keeps gettin banned

[AaronGTR]

Wonder what's goin' on?

[Molson]

Its one person who was banned before making new accounts.

[99GApunk]

yeah i know, just curious why he was banned, if im not supposed to know or whatever thats fine. i just like to ask questions and be curious

[methos]

so whats the story with this hood?

[highwayprowlerz]

Hey, if no donor will commit for the four door model in Cali, I'll donate my ride. I live about 6 hours from SoCal. I could use a free kit and I've never had the chance to have something like this done before.

[grandGTR]

That hood would look great! MY two tones GA would look great with it, but not willing to preorder.

[FireItUpXTC]

------R.I.P.------
Another dead thread made with the vain hope of having more aftermarket parts for our Grand Ams....

[methos]

cuz ppl keep trashing ideas that are given...we'll never get anything this way

[Rich]

and the guy who was leading all of it keeps getting banned for making more than one screen name. that doesnt really help either.

[RamAirGT22]

If you go over to www.makemykit.com the post went from making abody kit to making a carbon fiber hood. I would def be interested in the hood cause I plan on getting the JSP one, but I have a feeling this hood is never going to go into production...

[2002GT]

:)

[Vroom-Vroom]

i like the 3rd one too... its cute... but i like mine the best :wave:

[gaowners32]

i talked with cory the original starter of this thread he asked me to tell you guy to go onto www.makemykit.com and POST up if you want the kit or the hood made.

Serious individuals only because he gave up on the kit/hood because his ga is no longer being modified due to the fact he just got sent over seas again.

[GlisteningWhite]

Hey i cant see the pictures can someone send to me or repost??? im very interested to see what the look like???

[taketoki]

There is Custom Carbonfiber Hood group buy going on at GA owners club.
I signed up for it and we need one more person to get goin :whistle:
If you are interested, visit the thread and sign up!!! :metal:

[gaowners32]

$120 for 48 states in usa

alaska and hawaii will be more i forget the price right now

[AndyVTek]

If you guys can put up any more pictures, I'd be down for the group buy. You can't tell much from the 1 picture.

[SpyhunteR]

so.... is it backed by fiberglass ? is it 100% carbon? come on details.. it look spurdy, but what are the materials used... oh yeah carbon fiber.. it coudl be just a carbon fiber skin.... DETAILS>!!!!

[99GApunk]

why dont you guys who keep showing interest use the www.makemykit.com forum. and i know history101 who started this has a thread over on grandamownersclub.com in the groupbuy section

those would be good places to find more info since he was banned from this site

[gaowners32]

posting for history101 again... here are the details......


"Here is the link for the $100 deposit:

We accept VISA, MC, AMEX.

If you prefer paypal, please use sales@importtrenz.com

We will start production once all 7 GB Participants have left the deposit."

That was posted to him on makemykit.com

[99GApunk]

think anyone will actually deposit the money?

[SpyhunteR]

and i'm banned again from gaoc.com

[DrFabulous]

^^ lol

[gaowners32]

bringing this back from the dead.........they are still waiting for people to send there $100 but it looks like this is a wash.

[99GApunk]

the original starter of this didnt even put his money in

[gaowners32]

actually i know cory he did put money into actually he put $200.......so shut your mouth if you don't know anything.

Anyway yeah no money no hoood....ehh

[99GApunk]

actually i know cory he did put money into actually he put $200.......so shut your mouth if you don't know anything.

Anyway yeah no money no hoood....ehh

thats funny, his last post in the thread on GAOC says differently
mine has been in for a while i had to pull it out due to $ issues but i'll put it back in once the rest of the six put in

so you are wrong, i do know things, but i only know what i read by people that type it. if its wrong it isn't my fault

[Yacdogg]

I can't see none of the pics, but i will for sure put $100 down and pay $350 later.

[Pipelayaz]

i'm getting nothing but red x's...... i guess number 3 looks good????

[gaowners32]

the bodykit is done with cory gave up on you people and bought a altima se-r

I don't know what the deal is with this, I assume everything has fallen through since the pictures are gone from this thread and the forums at makemykit.com are either down or gone, but I've always loved the hood for the 05 cobras. It looks just like the Carbon one posted but has 2 vents, matching the Ram Air on the bumpers of our cars. Just throwing my opinion out there, if there was a group buy for something like that I would be interested.

the bodykit is done with cory gave up on you people and bought a altima se-r

who honestly would be interested in something from him if he cant even hold a forum membership and needs to send a messenger boy to talk for him. probably worked out for the better now.
